Serial port 1 shares three usage models. For standard usage, serial port 1 attempts to use COM1 first, and then COM3. For BMC usage,
serial port 1 uses the COM1 address and communication can be either via the Serial port or the integrated shared NIC. RAC control uses
only the COM1 address.
NOTE: Off and COM3 are not available options when Console Redirection is set to use Serial Port 1.
Speaker
(On default) Sets the integrated speaker On or Off. A change to this option takes effect immediately (rebooting the system is not required).
